The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Japan (Grew)

Washington, September 9, 1941—8 p.m.

579. For the Ambassador and Counselor only. Department’s 573, September 9, 11 a.m. We have not yet taken up with the Japanese Ambassador the points outlined in the Department’s telegram under reference except of course as we have repeatedly covered the subject matter of the third and fourth paragraphs in the course of conversations prior to the receipt by us of the Japanese Government’s recent proposals. The Ambassador has made an appointment to see me on the morning of September 109 at which time I shall expect, if opportune, to discuss the subject with him along the lines indicated in the telegram above referred to.
